Chitin concept fort help
« on: January 29, 2016, 06:51:47 pm »

I am planing a fort soon that will have leather and bone armor and a full militia (Yous can't have a Propa Waaagh! without all da boyz haven' a choppa...) and I'm wanting to reserve lamalar for specialists and give chitin armor and clothing to everyone else, but to get chitin in that quantity I need to have pets.
Now here is my question:
      What is the best animal to raise for chitin and were do I get it?

One Example I could think of is the Giant insects in a Savage Biome. I once had a Massive breeding scheme involving the Giant Thrips and a Kobold fort of mine. Giant Cockroaches or Giant Louses I think could work just as well, as I seemed to see them go by my fort more often than not. You just have to be in a Savage, Non-freezing biome, if I recall correctly..
